Abstract: An improved infrared occupant detection system (10) that provides
accurate and reliable occupant intrusion information at a speed sufficient to
timely inhibit or otherwise control deployment of occupant restraints (18). An
array of infrared emitters (50) is selectively activated to emit a predetermined
pattern of IR beams in an area between the passenger seat (16) and the point of
deployment of the restraint (18), and the reflected IR energy is detected by a
photo-sensitive receiver (44) and analyzed to determine whether an occupant is
out of position for deployment of the restraint (18). In the preferred
embodiment, the intensity of the received beam energy and the position of the
respective beam are used to construct a table of individual intrusion factors
(136, 138), and a composite intrusion factor based on the individual intrusion
factors is categorized by magnitude to form an indication of occupant intrusion
level (150, 156), which in turn, is used to determine whether, or how forcefully,
to deploy the restraint in the event of a serious crash.

Abstract: A method of controlling an over-load cooling operation of an air conditioner includes over-load operation mode in which, when an outdoor pipe temperature and an outdoor temperature exceeds reference temperatures, respectively, the operation capacity is changed to a low-level operation capacity, which is lower than the current operation capacity, the low-level operation capacity being one of plural operation capacities set according to the operation capacities of compressors (51, 52), and the operation is performed, and normal operation mode in which the outdoor pipe temperature is measured every predetermined period of time after the operation is performed in the over-load operation mode, and, when the measured outdoor pipe temperature is below the reference temperature, the operation is performed according to a signal from a thermostat (70). The continuous cooling operation is possible even under the over-load condition during the cooling operation of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner system is protected through the variable-capacity operation. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of improving user comfort and improving operational reliability of the air conditioner.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting an optical signal. The invention is directed to a transmission line having first and second spans (16,18) of single mode fiber. The fiber of the first span (16) has a negative dispersion (HNDF, high negative dispersion fiber) with an absolute value of between about 2.5 ps/nm/km and 10 ps/nm/km at the operating wavelength. The second span (18) is connected to the first span and has a positive dispersion at the operating wavelength. The positive dispersion of the second span compensates for the negative dispersion of the first span such that the cumulative dispersion across the first and second spans is approximately zero. The increased dispersion of the first span coincides with characteristics to lower non-linear effects, permits a longer length of the second span, and helps lower attenuation in the transmission line.

Filed: 2006-03-03
Abstract: An autofocus system is provided whereby an automatic tracking function focusing on a target subject by autofocus (AF) while tracking the target subject on a screen detects by pattern matching processing an image most matching a reference pattern image stored as a target subject image among captured images and, only when a correlation value for the image and reference pattern image equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold value, moves the AF focus position to the detected image position. The system can prevent erroneous detection of target subjects in accordance with imaging situations by enabling changes to the threshold value. A tracking device 16 in a television camera or the like stores an image of a target subject for tracking as a reference pattern image and detects by pattern matching an image most matching that reference pattern image among captured images of newly-incorporated frames to detect the target subject position.
